Search Metrics<br />

Search Metrics is very much revered as being reliable and accurate and is<br />

regularly praised by the media giants The Wall Street Journal, The New York<br />

Times, Forbes, and Bloomberg News. So, what has made them so respected?<br />

Search Metrics has an easy-<strong>to</strong>-use dashboard that lets you navigate between<br />

all the search functions that you can access. It uses charts and graphs rather<br />

than just tables <strong>to</strong> support the data that they have, so it’s easy <strong>to</strong> understand the<br />

information that they are providing.<br />

Their data also differentiates between the results for organic and paid for<br />

results, which can give you an insight in<strong>to</strong> your competi<strong>to</strong>rs’ online tactics. You<br />

can also use the information <strong>to</strong> gain a better understanding of the sites that<br />

you are considering linking <strong>to</strong>. They may be ad heavy, which we know Google<br />

penalises against, but conversely, they may have the budget <strong>to</strong> promote their<br />

site which would benefit yours.
